Leadership Week in Review: Feb. 23-March 1, 2025

by David E. Shellenberger on March 3, 2025

Each week, I collect the resources related to leadership, personal growth, and professional development I shared on social media the prior week, with the accompanying quotations.
……..

Gary Burnison, CEO of Korn Ferry:

Picking Up the Pieces” (3-24-25).

“[F]rom time to time, we must give ourselves a pause to pick up the pieces. But ultimately, we have to move forward, shaping a journey for tomorrow that’s better than today.”
……..

S. Chris Edmonds:

The need for moral leadership” (2-25-25).

“Moral leadership is grounded [per the HOW Institute for Society] in four pillars: Let Purpose Lead, Inspire and Elevate Others, Be Animated by Values and Virtues and Build Moral Muscle. Moral leaders foster higher standards of conduct by inspiring meaningful work grounded in shared values.”
……..

Karin Hurt and David Dye:

Not My Tornado: How to Stop Workplace Distractions from Stealing Your Focus” (2-10-25).

“• Pause before jumping into a new task—ask yourself, ‘Is this important, or just loud?’
• Set time blocks for deep work where you don’t check email or messages (yes, they will survive).
• Learn to say, ‘I’ll get to this after I finish my current priority.'”
